Building The Wall On The Mexico Wall

There are many pros and cons to the wall on the border of the U.S. and Mexico. The main reason why Trump was doing this was to stop illegal drugs from crossing the border into America. He is hoping that it will stop and America would be great again because we won thave that many illegal drugs and that there wouldn´t be that many terrorist attacks going on like the boston marathon or anything worse than that.

Jeff Corwin stated that “If this border wall actually happens, it will be an environmental catastrophe. Essentially, what it’s doing is cutting through nature’s bridge, which connects Central America to North America and South America.” Which in many cases this can be supported but then again many people work very hard to become a citizen in the United States for many to come across the border to get here illegally and to most this is unfair. To make another main statement given the rising global instability in North Korea and the Middle East with a strong and supportive border it would be harder for terrorist to get their hands on biological, chemical or radiological weapons. With an insecure border it makes it easier for them to bring them into the United States and launch a devastating attack on the United States.

Many say that the border wall is a bad idea, but others say it has some benefits. President Trump said in his campaign that he wanted “a great, great wall.” This was to ensure that anyone with no papers doesn’t take the jobs that “Americans” need. Since there are 2 sides of this problem they should both be addressed.

The United States and Mexico border fence has been a recent debate with the people because of the irresistible flow of Mexican illegal in the United States. Living in the lower Rio Grande Valley of Texas, I may be able to see a huge wall or fence being built on our border with Mexico. Other than the economic recession we have to this day, people still have their views and opinions expressed on another topic, the “segregation” wall. Some express opinions on whether this wall will keep illegal immigrants out, others speak on how this is a total disaster both financially and emotionally as in this wall being referred to as “racist”.

Should we have the Mexico Border wall? No, we should not. The country was built on Immigrants. One out of thirty people is an immigrant. We don’t just need to kick them all out of this country.

In recent months there has been a discussion about building a wall on the United States-Mexico border. Unfortunately, it would cost over ten and a half billion (http://www.cnn.com/2016/02/17/politics/donald-trump-mexico-wall/) just to build this wall and it would have to be patrolled constantly in order to keep illegal immigrants from just going over it. These costs, along with additional cost such as maintenance, makes the wall a fiscally irresponsible plan. It is also important to consider that illegal border crossing are just one way to enter the Unite States, according to Pew Research every year almost half a million immigrants come in with legal visas and then simply stay passed the expiration date (http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2016/02/03/homeland-security-produces-first-estimate-of-foreign-visitors-to-u-s-who-overstay-deadline-to-leave/).

Mexican citizens won't be able to cross the border with the wall up, right? Sure, it is true that people won't be able to run across the border, but not even half of the illegal immigrants in the US get in that way. Most illegal Mexican immigrants get into the US legally, and overstay their VISAs. Not only will the wall fail to keep illegal immigrants out, it will only make the situation worse. Building the wall will monopolize border crossing for the cartel. Any good businessman knows that as soon as something is illegal or prohibited, the price goes up for underground businesses. The Mexican Cartel will be able to make more profit and therefore grow if we build this

The United States should not build a wall on the Mexico border because of all the bad effects It could have on the U.S. after it’s built. One of the main effects of the wall would be on the economy, the trade with Mexico would be crushed by the wall, jobs would be loss too. Another effect if the wall was made is the social effect on the communities of the people around the wall. One last effect of the wall being built is the political task of .

A one thousand wall would certainly keep any Mexican out of the United States. Lots of other totalitarian regimes and democracies have built a wall before including India, Thailand, Israel, South Africa, and the European Union. A wall will keep the rapists, criminals, and drug cartels from going to Mexico while keeping those qualified Mexican workers back where they belong. The construction of the wall will also provide a lot of jobs for those poor Canadian illegal immigrants who are seeking safety from the cold up north. The wall can also act as a blank canvas for many out of work artists or they can use the paper from the trees that are torn down in the process. Mexico is also going pay for the wall because they are and that's that,

Many have already been asked to give up farmland along the border, and others face the threat of being cut off from their sacred lands. Those who have already been affected by the wall face the challenge everyday of being separated from their loved ones. Their only hope to see those they have been separated from is a small wired part of the wall just south of San Diego, Friendship Park. The border wall goes against what America was built on, and will not stop illegal immigration or the issues it may cause.

Imagine looking over the desert landscape of the southern United States and seeing an enormous concrete wall. Few people may say that the wall is a hindrance to the scenery, but many would say that the wall is blocking something. It would be meant to block immigrants from illegally entering the country. However, the real question would be how effective the wall is at preventing illegal entrance. I believe that the wall that would be placed on the southern border is not necessary to stop illegal immigration in the United States because of the costs, effectiveness, and other less costly options that could help reduce illegal immigration.

One important reason that a border wall between the U.S and Mexico can’t protect American jobs and reduce crime is that the border wall is too expensive and impractical because according to UpFront Magazine, Patricia Smith, 4-3-17. “Congress will fund the project, which will cost more than 21 billion of dollars and it will take until the end of 2020 to complete.” It will take 4 years for the wall to be complete and by the end of 2020 President Trump may not be the president of

The wall shall not be built because immigrants play an important role in the economy. Nearly five-million jobs depend on immigrants to help the economy. In a recent December 9, 2016 article Theatlantic.com states,”Researchers came up with this 4.9 million figure by calculating three economic shifts that would likely occur if trade with Mexico ended: the number of American jobs that are involved in producing exports to Mexico, which would be lost; the number of jobs that would return to the United States to produce the previously imported goods; and the number of jobs that would disappear if the money American consumers and companies saved from buying lower-cost imports were gone.” This excerpt shows how important immigrants are to American jobs, and why there should not be a border or restriction

In the past year, there is over 11.7 millions Mexican immigrants living in the US illegally in 2013, and it will be rising continuously. Not many Americans are in favour in this phenomenon because they have damaged the internal system of the US such as medical, welfare, and economic. As a result, , US government needs to figure how to barrie those undocumented Mexicans. Eventually, the US government decided to build “A Great Wall of Mexican” in between the line of America and Mexico. As I am one of the alien who come to the US from other country, I do not think it is a good move to solve this problem.

Starting in 2006, the United States started to develop the wall along parts of the frontier between U.S. and Mexico. There was 670 miles of the wall authorized to be assembled, and there were many objections to it being built. Besides the oppositions, from 2006 to 2009 there was already more than 100 miles of the wall constructed (Gilman 258). Congress passed the “Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act” in 1996. The act gave power to the government to create walls or barriers along the border, and it allowed it to seize land from people if it is imperative in protecting the borderline of the country (Gilman 259). In 2006, the “Secure Fence Act” was passed that instructed the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to develop a fence stretching from 5 different areas of the border. In 2007, there was 70 miles of the wall built in the Arizona and Mexico frontier. Since this occurrence, the government then shifted its surveillance to the border along Texas and Mexico in 2007, and started suggestions to assemble more than 100 miles of the border wall by 2008 (Gilman 260). Towards the end of 2007, the
